"We need the biggest gay flag you have," Deborah said.
"This one?" asked the clerk at Giovanni's Room.
"Bigger."
$56 later, we have a 5-foot by 8-foot multi-colored chuppah.
The chuppah is the traditional Jewish canopy that the bride and groom stand under as they get married.
People do all kinds of different things for their chupah -- sometimes there's lots of greenery, like the Garden of Eden, other times four friends or family members hold a simple white sheet above the couple.
By popular demand -- if you consider a 16-8 poll on my blog "popular demand" -- the gay rainbow flag will be our chupah. And we're stoked. Gays may not be able to get married, but they will at least be symbolically represented at this wedding.
When you search "rainbow chupah," a link to this blog is the first to come up on Google, which I think is hilarious. But it's not just us. Last month the first lesbians to get married under South Africa's new civil Union Act purposely chose a rainbow chuppah.
If it happens one more time the New York Times Sunday Style section will do an article on this "trend"!
